Prince William has announced the winners of the first Earthshot Prize, an ambitious program designed to develop ideas and technologies to protect the environment and fight back against the climate crisis. Five winners were awarded £1 million ($1.4M) at a star-studded event in London on Sunday after being chosen by a council of celebrities, environmentalists, technologists and philanthropists for their scalable solutions to environmental challenges.
The film tells the story of Shaar’s efforts to set up a food truck and harness the culinary talents of the women living in the refugee camp of Burj al Barajneh, which was established in a southern suburb of Beirut in 1948 and is still home to thousands of Palestinians.
The Earthshot Prize was founded by the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and was inspired by John F. It will be awarded every year until 2030. Kennedy’s moonshot project, which catalyzed the technology world to put humans on the moon back in the 1960s. Instead of the aiming for the moon, the goal of the Earthshot Prize is to galvanize people around the world to design solutions that will protect the Earth for future generations.
“It just goes to show you that when people pull together, you know, things get bigger and bigger and bigger – and especially the school, how fabulous to have that happen,” said Sarandon as she sang English nursery rhymes with the kids.
The next Earthshot Prize ceremony is set to take place in the US in 2022, Prince William said at the end of the event. His announcement was followed by a message from the US special presidential envoy for climate, John Kerry. This year’s ceremony came just weeks before the UK is set to host COP26, the world’s most important climate summit.
